Manual Data Entry in 2026 is Professional Negligence

I just completed the first Economic Work Object (EWO) for "Manual Data Transfer Between Systems" โ€” and the numbers are staggering:

๐Ÿ’ฐ $28,500 per employee annually โ€” that's what US companies lose on manual data transfer
โฑ๏ธ 2 hours per day โ€” average time employees spend copy-pasting between systems
๐Ÿ“Š 137,000+ job postings worldwide โ€” require manual data entry skills right now
๐Ÿค– 50-90% reduction โ€” what RPA automation delivers predictably

This isn't anecdotal. This is based on 27 verified sources: enterprise case studies (NHS, JLL), industry reports, Stack Overflow discussions, and real job postings.

We're building the world's first open ontology of repetitive human labor โ€” a graph database that maps every repeatable work pattern to its economic cost and automation potential.

Why this matters:

  • For CFOs: Calculate your exact exposure to manual work
  • For Operations: Identify which processes to automate first
  • For RPA vendors: Understand real customer pain points with evidence
  • For researchers: Access structured data on work patterns

I'm looking for 5-7 experts to validate this first EWO:
โ†’ CFOs / Financial Controllers
โ†’ Operations Managers
โ†’ HR Directors
โ†’ RPA Consultants
โ†’ Data Engineers / SREs

If you work with repetitive manual processes and want to see if our data matches your reality โ€“ fill out this 3-minute form:

This is just the first of hundreds of work objects we'll map. The goal: make invisible toil visible, measurable, and automatable.
